(B,C) Preferential attachment of bacteria to spherical metal capped-PS Janus particles (Stanton et al., 2016) and Pluronic covered PS particles (Behkam and Sitti, 2008). (D) Bacteria attached to PS particles with different ellipsoidal body geometries (Sahari et al., 2012). (E) Bacteria captured inside a microtube regarding the bacteria driven microswimmer assembly (Stanton et al., 2017a). All images presented with corresponding copyright permissions.
